Testimonials

I have been through the buying process of six different homes, and this was one of the easiest. This team anticipated any issues so that they were taken care of before they even became an issue. Great people to work with!

Rich and Grace helped us a lot to become homeowners! As first-time buyers, both walked us through the process. We are thankful they helped us make our dream true!

Grace and Rich were fantastic to work with. They shared their knowledge and offered us a lot of different options to consider. Based on their advice, we were able to find our new home quickly that checked all our boxes. We also worked with Andy Eastman at Ameris Bank, his team went above and beyond to help us with our home equity loan and new home loan. If you are looking for a team that will put your interests first, this is the one!

I purchased and sold a home through Rich and Grace. They are easy to work with, professional, and knowledgeable. They did a great job for me!

I had the very best experience with Grace and Rich! They are top notch and got the job done the first week on the market! Very professional and always a step ahead. I literally had nothing to worry about during this process! I have bought and sold over 11 homes during my lifetime and these two Realtors are by far the very best I have had the pleasure of working with! If you want a team that will take care of buying or selling your home...You want Grace and Rich! The Best Team!

Awesome!

Rich and Grace will do a great job of "getting to know" what is important to their client and finding the right home for them. Very patient with their clients.

Rich and Grace were great! Everything went as smoothly as it could possibly go. Communication was great. I would certainly do business with them again! Highly recommended.

Rich and Grace are a pleasure to work with. We had an out of the ordinary property to list and they gave good advice regarding listing decisions and were always ready and available to respond to a question. They have a lot of real-estate experience and both really enjoy what they do. They work well as a team and I highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance trading within the residential market place.

Grace and Rich truly are the BEST TEAM! We could not have done it without this power couple. My husband and I started our new build process in January 2021. We found this team through a search for recommended real estate agents who work with financial responsibility in mind because we wanted the support of people who understood what we were trying to accomplish -- which was to be as debt free as possible and pay off our mortgage in 10-15 years.

Grace and Rich shared similar principles, which made us feel taken care of. As we've come to learn through these last 13 months, the new construction process is riddled with surprises left and right. Grace gracefully handled every single curveball from our builder. She gave us great advice and she was always there to make sure we were empowered with knowledge and transparency. She represented us and delegated communications between me, my husband, and the seller/builder. We would have been lost without her help.

She was also there during our selections appointment providing amazing insight from a design and budgetary perspective as well. Rich was there to help us through the closing walk through, ensuring that everything was perfect. There's a lot going against the buyer in this crazy market, but with the Best Team, you never have to worry about getting taken advantage of. Tony and I could not recommend them more! If you're thinking about diving in, stop thinking and do it now. You will not be let down.

Great to work with!!

These folks are amazing. They are always a phone call or text away and ready to help. Very easy to work with and never, ever pushy. Thank you Grace and Rich for helping us make our dream come true.

Grace and Rich were very professional and patient in the process of finding us a house with acreage. We had a large wish list and they checked all the boxes . They are very knowledgeable in their field of real estate and easy to work with. My wife and I feel we have met a new set of friends. Thank you both for all your expertise and friendship in our property hunt. I would highly recommend them to al.

Rich and Grace are very caring and knowledgeable, they knew exactly what we wanted and make sure we got the best deal. I highly recommend them as we will definitely make them our Agents for future transactions and will tell all of our friends about them. We truly enjoyed working with them.

Being new to Jackson county it was a big decision choosing a realtor. Would they know the area? Would they understand the market? would they have our best interest at heart? the answer to all those questions is a resounding yes! The Orbans are a top notch real estate team with the experience and insight to make your transaction a success. We always heard back, often times in a matter of minutes, when we reached out with questions or concerns. They made themselves available with a flexibility that was extremely helpful. We purchased a new home using Rich and Grace to facilitate the deal. What a great choice. Grace was always by our side, whether it be a walk through or the final closing. Her experience and advocacy made a difference in the outcome of our purchase. In addition Rich and Grace possess a strong commitment to their church and community, that demonstrates the kind of people they are. I can without hesitation recommend The Orban Team for any real estate needs you may need, you won't be disappointed.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Rich and Grace! Very informative and helpful throughout the process.

Rich and Grace were fantastic to work with! As first-time home sellers, Rich and Grace walked us through each step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure our questions were answered! Even checking on our empty house and tidying up as needed every couple of days after showings.

We could not have asked for more personable and caring realtors. They honestly want to work for their clients first, earn commissions secondary.

We ended up with a bidding war on our house and signed a contract for higher than asking after only 5 days on the market due to their excellent marketing skills and 3D Matterport photography!

We highly recommend this Best Team duo and hope to work with them again someday when our need arises! Thank you, Rich and Grace Orban!

Grace and Rich were very professional, thorough, and FOUGHT FOR US throughout the process of getting our home. They educated us, ensuring our understanding of the process and laws regarding home acquisition. They are simply the BEST!

Grace & Rich are great people to deal with, actually fun to be around. They worked very hard to find us qualified buyers. To start with they helped stage our home ahead of great photos and videos to market our home in its best light. They work very hard to stay on top of everything that is going on. They kept us from under valuing our home and looked to promote its attributes. You will be happy to have them represent you on selling your home.

They were wonderful and very helpful. They were great at keeping lines of communication open with all parties. Email correspondence was exceptional. Will recommend them to anyone moving to this area.

We were lucky to stumble upon this husband-and-wife duo while searching for our new home in Jefferson. Grace reached out to us and we talked for 30-45 minutes before we ever met in person. I told her little about what we were looking for and she came back with options!! Lots of options!! They are truly the BEST TEAM!! They will guide you through the process looking out for your best interests. Plus as an added bonus you get 2 for the price of one!! If you are looking for a great realtor look no further. Grace and Rich are your people!!!

Selling my home of 33 years was very overwhelming, Grace and Rich were there with me every step of the way. They were wonderful to work with. If I had gone with another realtor I interviewed then I would have left $25,000 on the table. Thank you Grace and Rich!!

Grace and Rich were amazing, from the beginning of our home search to the end of our home purchase they were with us every step of the way. Thank you for helping us with our dream.

Grace & Rich were absolutely wonderful to work with.  They assisted us with the sale of our land while we were out of state. Unbelievable customer service and great communication!  They worked very hard for us and kept us informed every step of the way! I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area that needs an agent!!!

Rich and Grace assisted us with both sides of the sale of our previous existing home and the purchase of our new home. Grace was a tremendous help in both the staging of the existing home and again in the negotiations with the builder's agent of our new home. Rich was greatly helpful in providing assistance with a home warranty issue which occurred during the sales closing. They are a superbly professional team and we felt so grateful to have them on our side. Their knowledge and expertise in the market was unsurpassed by any other agents we have ever worked with. If the need should arise for us to sell our current home, we definitely know who to contact. You will not regret having the Best Team for your representation.

Made selling one place and buying another really easy. All done in a couple of months. Great team.

My wife found them through Dave Ramsey, and we are thrilled with how they got things done.

We needed to sell my late father's house, and quickly. I am the Administrator of the Estate, and I live outside of GA. As if this didn't make this difficult enough, my stepbrother had been living at that house. On top of all that, the house was in pretty bad disrepair and not suitable for selling as a livable residence.

My family's original idea was to try to convert the property to commercial, but this was not realistic. RIch & Grace educated me a bit about that, and brought my expectations back to reality. They advised that the best way to go about this was to list the house as an investment property, and someone would likely want to buy it and fix it up to either rent it out or re-sell it at a profit. I agreed that this sounded great, and they got right to work.

We loved working with Rich and Grace! We initially chose them because at the end of my (Olivia) first conversation Grace she said, "I suggest to just talk with your husband and then you two pray about it." I knew we were going to be working with great people who had the same Christian values as us! With being first time home sellers, we had many questions throughout the process; they always answered those questions quickly and thoroughly. When we say quickly- we mean there was never a time when we text or called them that they didn't respond within 5 minutes or answer before it went to voicemail. They made sure that we were going to get the best outcome possible, and we really cannot thank them enough! Everyone needs a Rich and Grace for agents... everyone!

We found them through Dave Ramsey's ELP service. After talking with her and two others we decided that Grace was the realtor for us. She was very prompt with getting back to us any time we had a question. She took the initiative to go and find out things she did not know or things that she knew were important to us that we had not even asked yet. She paid close attention to us and learned what we liked and did not like. As we continued to look for the correct house for our family she narrowed it down more and more as she learned more about use and what we were looking for. She also is very knowledge able and helped keep us from buying a house that would not have been in our best interests. She read the contracts and gave us input as well as reminding us of things we said we wanted and had forgotten. She is very polite and was even amazing with our two daughters when we had to bring them with us. Grace went above and beyond for our family and we will always be thankful for her help in relocating our family to this state. I would recommend her 100 out of 100 times to anyone looking for a realtor in the area.

I could not say enough great things about listing my house with Rich and Grace Orban. They were highly professional, experienced and were always available when I had questions, needed advise on getting my house ready to sell, and made every step of the way a breeze. I would not hesitate to call them again.

Rich and Grace were phenomenal to work with on selling our home. From day one, I believe their advice to us was very professional and a testament of their knowledge and experience in the real estate industry. They came into our home and gave us tips on what we needed to do to get it "show ready". The transitions through contract negotiation, inspections, and closing were streamlined. I'm so glad we chose to let the Orbans list our home.

We had the pleasure of working with both Rich and Grace Orban. They are very detailed oriented and give great advise. They helped us sell our home within only three days and purchase a new one with minimal stress. Everything went smoothly. Their knowledge of the real estate market is spot on. We would highly recommend them to many others. We feel blessed to have met them both.

Grace and Rich have helped me sell a home, buy land and sell land. Every time it has been a pleasure to work with them and hope to work with them again soon on my next purchase.

Rich and Grace helped me get my house sold quickly and efficiently! Grace went through the house with me and gave recommendations on what to change and they both walked me through the whole process. My house was under contract within three days! Highly recommend and will be using them for my next house purchase.

Rich and Grace are a dynamic duo who get things done! Our house sold quickly and efficiently. It was amazing to see them work as a team and be so supportive and successful! I have no regrets working with them. If you want results then make sure you contact Rich and Grace!

We had a great experience with Grace and Rich they are knowledgeable where able to guide us in the process of buying our house. Grace was always helpful through out the whole process of the closing agreement process. We highly recommended them for your next purchase or sale.

Grace and Rich were incredible to work with! From the moment we contacted them, they helped us gather the important information and tools to find a great house. They were very responsive to all of our communications (email, text, calls) and made sure we were aware of any updates during the house buying process. They helped turn the stressful process of buying a house into an efficient and fun journey of buying a home. We would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area!

The "Best Team" says it all! Professional, Precise, and Personable!. Rich and Grace worked diligently together, to cater to our every need.During the sale of our home they assisted with each detail to be sure we were to receive offers in a …More

Grace and Rich were amazing to work with! They were always available to look at properties- even on short notice and helpful in navigating how to handle inspection results and the negotiation process. So blessed to have had the chance to work with them to find the PERFECT house for me and my son!

We listed the land and received 2 offers during the first week. The second offer was accepted. It closed within three weeks. The Best Team was very responsive and professional during the entire process. They made the sale quick and simple. We would call on them again.

I have called Rich and Grace Orban for every one of my real estate needs over the last 5 years or so. They sold my previous home in 3 days! I had a wonderful experience with the sell of this recent home in south Georgia as well. Grace has a knack for design and staging that shows the home in its most beautiful, best self! Rich is knowledgeable about the market and any issues that may arise during the sell. Both are timely, honest, professional, and friendly. They will keep you informed and respond quickly to any reach outs they received from me, agents, or potential buyers. I have referred these folks to countless family members, friends, and neighbors. I am blessed to now know them as friends :).

We are thrilled with the results we got using the Best Team as our realtors! We almost tried to go it on our own, but are so glad we didn't. Rich and Grace's combined knowledge and experience helped us get almost twice what we first guessed the house was worth. We were also very pleased with how quick and painless the whole process was. We settled on a bid just four days after our listing went live. We highly recommend Best Team!

As first time home buyers, my husband and I had a lot to learn. Grace and Rich always provided us an excellent level of service. We felt like they had our back during the whole process. I highly recommend them!

Grace is one in a Million! She helped us with two! moves in one year. First to help find us a rental on our cross country move in May of 2020. Then again in February 2021 to help us secure the property of our dreams. She went above and beyond to keep the process moving forward throughout the entire process. I highly recommend giving Grace a call when you need help in the real estate market.

I can’t believe that my house sold so quickly!! Grace and Rich were very easy to work with and really cared about my selling issues. This was the easiest sell I have ever been apart of. If you are selling your home go with this team, you can’t go wrong. I wouldn’t have changed anything. We are a very happy grateful family!!Thanks again.

I can’t express how wonderful Rich and Grace are, but I’m going to try! They truly are the BEST at what they do. North Georgia is lucky to have these top agents serving our community. Rich and Grace are very professional, kind, sincere, knowledgeable and really know everything there is to know about the real estate market. We felt they “had our backs” from the very beginning as we discussed our overwhelming fears and concerns of selling our home in Nicholson. Not only did they encourage, uplift and educate us . . . they also got us a contract within FOUR days of listing our home!!! Once Rich and Grace became involved in our sale, all our worry and stress disappeared. They put together the best plan for our home, and their dedication, attention to detail and thoroughness got us a contract.

I highly recommended Rich and Grace Orban for any and all of your real estate needs. Honestly, they are the BEST TEAM out there! They clearly have a passion for real estate and Jackson County, GA is lucky to have them! Our family was blessed to get to work with such a great team.

Marketing real estate in the "best of times" has its unique challenges......add to that the present uncertainties presented by the on-going pandemic, and you need the skills and experience of the most dynamic team of Rich and Grace Orban of BEST TEAM-EXP REALTY.Thank you rich and Grace, you guys were absolutely awesome! We can't thank you enough for serving us in the recent sale of our house and (in) the purchase of our "downsized home". Joyce and I had interviewed multiple agents (including some who were very close friends) before reaching out to the DAVE RAMSEY TEAM for a local "ELP"...we were not disappointed, you truly are "High Calibre Real Estate Professionals". Your stellar marketing platform, including how you showcased our property using "3D Doll House walkthrough" and a most compressive research at determining the optimal asking price resulted in us receiving an offer 3% over list...and, here's the best part.....FROM THE FIRST(buyer) who came in to view the house!Your true value, however, was how you kept the transaction moving along (and, as we only learned after the fact , at closing, through some tough negotiations with the buyers agent),.....you added value to your words by your actions.... you truly "represented the interest of your client"! We had some difficult moments on both sides of the transaction (selling and buying) that I am not sure other agents would have had the patience with us but you certainly "had our backs". You kept us informed, you challenged on our behalf, you protected our interest! WE CANNOT RECOMMEND YOU HIGHLY ENOUGH! Lastly, Rich (Hugo here! )...i'm so glad you didn't heed my bluster about "just find us shelter"! Y'all went above and beyond finding us a new place, the payoff is when Joyce, with tender emotion, says, while unpacking dishes......"this already feels like home"!!!!......THERE'S NO PRICE FOR THAT! And, yes, you did meet MY criteria....i'm 29.7 miles from my driveway to office parking. PRICELESS!Lastly, lastly.......:-...may we invite you to celebrate with us! Ultimately, our motivation for downsizing was to be BEBT FREE...look what came in the mail today!!!!.....WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BEING ON OUR TEAM AND CONTRIBUTING TO US REACHING THE LIFE GOAL!

Grace and Rich were great helping us to quickly find a home. Today’s market is crazy. They navigated it well. They also gave us tools to boost our capability to support the effort. This was our 2nd opportunity to work with this real estate team. They didn’t disappoint. Give them a try. They will help you from beginning and beyond.

Grace and Rich were great to work with. Their responsiveness is top-notch, and they are very professional. Great communication and positive experience. We would recommend.

Grace and Rich helped us through the entire process. I had initially planned on spending entirely too much money on repairs I did not need before meeting with Rich and Grace. They toured my property and gave me a much more targeted plan on what to work on which drastically cut down on my expenses. Once the house listed we accepted an offer on the first day for full asking price. Closing took some time as there were extenuating circumstances with the buyer and Covid-19 was just causing shutdowns. Rich and Grace stayed in touch during this time and handled all communication with the buyer and the lawyers. They also have a very solid network of repairmen, cleaners, and photographers who all really maximized my homes appeal. Great job!

Grace and Rich were fantastic to work with. Our initial conversation with Grace lasted about an hour. I really appreciated her willingness to share her insight prior to even becoming a client. This showed us that she was going to be committed to helping us through the process and be helpful in landing us the best deal. Grace was great in walking us through the home search and purchase of the home. Rich was very helpful with understanding the specs of the house and working the inspection/negotiation of repairs. An excellent team to work with, especially first-time home buyers.

Rich and Grace were very knowledgeable and walked us through the process of selling and buying a home. It was our first time selling a home, and though the process can be quite daunting, they made it a pleasurable experience with their expertise and reassurance every step of the way. It was a great experience having the team, because when circumstances arised where one was unavailable, the other was there to help. They work hard for their clients and really have their clients best interest in mind. We feel they went above and beyond for us. They truly are the best team in our opinion and we would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!

This process was overwhelming for me and Grace and Rich were there every step of the way. Communication was great as well as their knowledge. If I had gone with another realtor that I interviewed I would have left $25,000 on the table. Thank you both so much!

Excellent team with great communication that exceeded my expectations. Rich and Grace consistently communicated daily to keep me informed. Documents needing attention were a breeze and the whole experience was smooth. They brought multiple offers in four days when I thought it might take two or three weeks. Before hiring a realtor, I thought I was going to need to put a lot of time and money into the house. However, they explained exactly what was needed to bring the home to market. Showed me where my money was best spent and I saved. I recommend them to anyone, especially friends and family.

They were great, both helping me buy and sell a home. They answered all of my questions and concerns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I have been planning to sell our home for years, but just hadn't met the right real estate professional. In our search for a new home we found a residence we wanted to go look at. I sent a message to the listing agent thinking it would take awhile to respond. To my surprise I received a response immediately. And that is where our story begins. We met Rich and Grace at a small coffee shop prior to visiting the listing we were interested in. During that meeting my husband and I were impressed with their information and detailed approach. We went home after visiting that residence and decided to utilize Rich and Grace for selling our home. It was a great experience, from the time of walk thru at our residence prior to listing Grace gave me great advice on what pieces of furniture to remove for the home to show better. The photographer that Rich and Grace uses is awesome, he captured a different perspective of our residence, I'm all about the details. Rich and Grace took time researching our location and how to properly list our residence. There are plenty of realtors available to list your home, there are very few with talents of Rich and Grace to sell your residence quickly and for top dollar. Give them a call when you are ready to sell your home, be diligent and listen to their advice. We promise you, you won't be disappointed in your decision to list with Best Team EXP Realty. Their name says it all they are the best team. They are experienced and know how to market your property for maximum exposure. Some companies go on and on about what they can do for you since they are so big, Rich and Grace actually got us the results that we wanted, and our home sold in a week. They told us it would go quick I just didn't believe it, and to top it off we sold our home during the busiest of the holiday seasons. We want to thank Rich and Grace for the results we received, and our new home is a work in progress, looking forward to seeing the changes ahead. Don't wait as long as we did, call Rich and Grace they really do make a difference.

Grace and Rich are the DEFINITION OF PROFESSIONALISM, thorough, knowledgeable, and VERY PASSIONATE about the services they provide. They helped us find our dream home within our budget, the area we had in mind, and IN RECORD TIME! Their negotiation skills are OFF THE CHAIN! They LOOKED OUT FOR US.

Grace and Rich are absolutely wonderful ! They are the best at what they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They deserve 10 stars!!! Grace was always my advocate and is very knowledgeable on reviewing contracts. She became a friend and made building a home a fun experience.

Listed a house with them and had a full price offer in just 3 days. Pictures of the house were first class. Closing was quick and simple. They made it an enjoyable experience.

Grace and Rich were fabulous. The sold our home in a flash and managed that sale to make it a simple process for us. Additionally, they helped us find our new home which was a new build. They stayed with with through to the very end. They monitored the details, went to bat for us when we needed support, and were just great to work with. They made this experience a pleasant one!

Rich and Grace were a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable in all aspects. Very quick to respond with any questions you have about anything. And great outgoing personalities was a bonus. Would recommend to anyone! Thanks guys!

They were very knowledgeable and since our property was one of a kind in our area, we asked Rich and Grace to do an appraisal based on the house, the acreage and the outbuilding workshop with a finished apartment above it all separately. They hustle and are very professional, and sincerely care about their clients.

Rich and Grace were Amazing to work with! We highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. They were always there for us whether it was via phone, email or text. Rich and Grace were very patient when it came to the 5 million questions we always had.

Rich and Grace were extremely knowledgeable in assisting us with Sale of our home and purchasing a new one. They were very compassionate to our needs and wants. They were readily available in both the selling and purchasing process with any questions or concerns we had.

Rich and grace were just the right match for me when selling my property. I was always able to contact them and ask questions about any problems or concerns. Their expertise made selling my property a breeze, it sold much faster than I ever expected, and at the price I wanted !!!

Grace and Rich have been very helpful in the entire home buying process. Grace has been very prompt in responding to our questions. She tried her best to make sure we were happy at every step of the process. We highly recommend her and Rich.

The Orbans did a great job in supporting the sale of my house from start to finish - from recommending touch-ups needed and minor repairs to make the house stand out, to working with potential buyers down to the details of the appliances. In a crowded market, they made my property stand out, and worked hard to get the sale done efficiently once the contract was signed. I was very grateful to have their expertise and eye for details on my side, and recommend them highly.

Rich and Grace have been wonderful to work with on finding and purchasing our new home. I would highly recommend them to anyone, very helpful, not pushy, showed us everything we asked about and very knowledgeable.

They are wonderful to work with show us a home we were interested in and followed up to ensure the transaction we proceeding well. Will work with them again.

The best thing that I can say about Rich is that he helped us be patient when we were starting to get nervous. If a house is on the market for more than a month or two most realtors just want you to lower the price. Rich was confident that we had the house priced right and just needed to wait until after the holidays for traffic to pick up. Even when we were suggesting lowering our asking price he talked us out of it! Sure enough, we sold the house in early Spring right after the holidays were over for our original asking price! Thank you Rich!

We were very pleased with the service Rich gave us. He especially went out of his way to track down items that were to be left on the premises when we purchased our home.
